Dias recalled for benched Stones as injured Gundogan and Calvert-Lewin miss out

Double Gameweek 24 comes to a conclusion as Everton and Manchester City meet at Goodison Park.

Kick-off on Merseyside is at 20:15 GMT.

The two most-owned players from these two teams don’t feature tonight although the no-shows from Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) and Ilkay Gundogan (£6.1m) aren’t shocks, with their managers having previously ruled them out in their pre-match press conferences.

Pep Guardiola gave an update on Gundogan ahead of kick-off:

The injured Gundogan is one of three players who started the win over Tottenham Hotspur who doesn’t feature in Pep Guardiola’s starting XI.

The other two are Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.5m) and John Stones (£5.2m), who both drop to the bench.

Kyle Walker (£6.1m), Ruben Dias (£6.1m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.1m) all return to the visitors’ side.

Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) makes his return to the City matchday squad following a month on the sidelines and is among the substitutes, along with Sergio Aguero (£10.3m).

Guardiola has threatened more changes when City head to Arsenal this weekend, saying:

If you see the schedule that we have… we have a game every three or four days, everybody is going to play. Against Arsenal, we are going to play new ones.

Carlo Ancelotti has gone one better than his opposite number, making four alterations from the defeat to Fulham at the weekend.

Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford (£4.8m) returns from a rib injury, with Robin Olsen (£4.5m) making way to accommodate the England international’s comeback.

Yerry Mina (£5.5m), Michael Keane (£5.1m) and Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) are also back in the line-up, with Seamus Coleman (£4.8m), James Rodriguez (£7.7m) and Andre Gomes (£5.3m) all dropping to the bench.


Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Silva, Rodri, Foden, Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling.

Everton XI: Pickford, Mina, Keane, Holgate, Godfrey, Davies, Doucoure, Digne, Sigurdsson, Iwobi, Richarlison.

    Sterling owners are actually lucky he managed to get a goal last match if you really think about it...

    7 points for Raheem in a DGW is a fail IMO

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Pope and Tarkowski outscored him

    2. Tinkermania

      Don't speak too soon. Your triple captain could be a one pointer when you use it.

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I’d rather use it on a one pointer..

    Sterling has been absolutely nowhere for both games... as a captainer I count myself lucky to have even an assist

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I jokingly posted above but that's simply not true for the Spurs match. He was pretty involved and had a good game.

      1. Jönny
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He had moments but he spent waaaay too much time out on the wings. Not enough time in the box for my liking.

  11. RAFA THE GAFFA

    My rival matching my Pope, Tarko, Dias, Cancelo 9 points with his Andersen and Stones(0) !

  17. Duke Silver ☑

    Duncan Ferguson makes a fine 4th official.

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No one would argue how many extra minutes would be added.

    1. JONALDINHO
